[xml] libxml2-2.5.11 build issue on Win2000

[Goutham S Mohan <goutham_s1 yahoo com>]

Hi,

 

I am trying to build libxml2-2.5.11 on Win 2000. The build errors out with some linker errors for unresolved symbols. It errors out as below when building the libxml2.dll

 

link.exe /nologo /VERSION:2.5 /LIBPATH:binaries

/LIBPATH:D:/build/gouthams/Itanium/libxml/exports\lib

/OPT:NOWIN98 /DLL /DEF:libxml2.int\libxml2.def 

/IMPLIB:binaries\libxml2.lib /OUT:binaries\libxml2.dll libxml2.int\c14n.obj libxml2.int\catalog.obj libxml2.int\debugXML.obj libxml2.int\DOCBparser.obj libxml2.int\encoding.obj libxml2.int\entities.obj libxml2.int\error.obj libxml2.int\globals.obj libxml2.int\hash.obj libxml2.int\HTMLparser.obj libxml2.int\HTMLtree.obj libxml2.int\list.obj libxml2.int\nanoftp.obj libxml2.int\nanohttp.obj libxml2.int\parser.obj libxml2.int\parserInternals.obj libxml2.int\relaxng.obj libxml2.int\SAX.obj libxml2.int\threads.obj libxml2.int\tree.obj libxml2.int\uri.obj libxml2.int\valid.obj libxml2.int\xinclude.obj libxml2.int\xlink.obj libxml2.int\xmlIO.obj libxml2.int\xmlmemory.obj libxml2.int\xmlreader.obj libxml2.int\xmlregexp.obj libxml2.int\xmlschemas.obj libxml2.int\xmlschemastypes.obj libxml2.int\xmlunicode.obj libxml2.int\xpath.obj libxml2.int\xpointer.obj

libxml2.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol xmlIOHTTPClose
libxml2.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol xmlIOHTTPMatch
libxml2.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol xmlIOHTTPOpen
libxml2.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol xmlIOHTTPOpenW
libxml2.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol xmlIOHTTPRead
libxml2.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol xmlRegisterHTTPPostCallbacks
binaries\libxml2.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 6 unresolved externals

 

 

I compared the build logs with the libxml2-2.5.6 build logs and found that there are a few new defines like xmlIOHTTPClose, xmlIOHTTPOpen, xmlIOHTTPRead etc., in <libxml_source>/win32/libxml2.int/libxml2.def file in the new release i.e. libxml2-2.5.11. These are causing the problems.

 

Has anybody come across a similar problem? Or do I need to do anything specific for moving from libxml2-2.5.6 build to libxml2-2.5.11.
